It's been a long time since I've been around this board (3 years!) but we are finally coming "home" in September. I was a self-declared DL pro back when we made over a dozen trips between 2012-2018. But it's been a minute! Our children are now 7 and 10 years and this is our first Stroller-Free trip and I'm both nervous and excited about not having that monstrocity, as well as well as navigating DL without Fax/Maxpasses
BUT, we are SO used to being heavy packer for our park days - waters w/ refill (we REALLY don't like the taste of the DL water from quick service restaurants), snacks, lunch, sweatshirts/jackets, change of clothes for kids bc of water rides, and I usually have a change of flip flops for water rides (so I don't ruin my goods ones).
So I've been perusing Amazon looking at cooler backpacks, but my husband is concerned one of those will be too bulky for when we ride attractions, any experience with that? Or suggestions for one you've used that worked well (or didn't work well for that matter). Just to note, we don't like getting lockers bc we don't like having to walk back for whatever we need.
ETA: 3 days in the parks plus the Halloween party on a 4th day, staying right across the street (but hate going back to the hotel bc of security lines)
